At sixteen, after an extensive audition and interview process, Hart was accepted into the
Magic Castle's elite junior program. As a teenager, he earned extra money working in a cemetery as a grave digger and was nicknamed
Lurch due to his tall, lanky frame. Soon realizing that it was a dead-end job, Hart accepted a position demonstrating tricks at Hollywood Magic, the largest West Coast magic shop. Working in Hollywood gave Hart the opportunity to meet and perform before the likes of Michael Jackson, Johnny Carson, Muhammad Ali, and
Harry Anderson. As Hart's reputation grew he soon came to the attention of
David Copperfield for whom Hart first worked as a Magic Roadie. Impressed with Hart's knowledge and expertise in the field of magic, Copperfield continued to use him on several more live and television shows, including the Great Wall of China special. His sleight-of-hand magic has been featured in national television commercials for
McDonald's,
Honda and
RCA. He has twice been awarded "Stage Magician of the Year" by Hollywood's Magic Castle, and
Princess Stéphanie of Monaco personally awarded him the top prize at the Grand Prix Magique held in
Monte Carlo. Hart is currently performing in ''TV's Magic Stars'' at the Golden Cabaret at the Horizon Casino Resort in
Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Hart appeared on
To Tell the Truth in 2018 and on
I Can See Your Voice in 2022. ==Filmography==
